JUST IN: Dems’ Epstein Narrative Demolished After Federal Judge Sides With Trump, Issues Major Order

A New York federal judge on Tuesday ordered the unsealing of grand jury materials tied to the prosecution of Ghislaine Maxwell, marking a major transparency win pushed by the Trump administration and a move that could undercut months of Democratic demands surrounding the Epstein case.

U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer ruled that grand jury records connected to Maxwell’s case must be released following a request from the Department of Justice. The order applies to proceedings in federal court in Manhattan.

Grand jury materials are typically sealed permanently, but Engelmayer agreed with the Department of Justice that the records should be released.

“The Act does not explicitly refer to grand jury materials. The Court nonetheless holds — again in agreement with DOJ — that the Act textually covers the grand jury materials in this case,” Engelmayer wrote in his order.

The ruling authorizes the release of grand jury transcripts and exhibits, along with extensive evidence prosecutors previously disclosed to Maxwell’s defense team during her 2021 criminal trial.

Maxwell, a British socialite, is serving a 20-year federal prison sentence after being convicted of recruiting underage girls for sexual abuse by financier Jeffrey Epstein.

The decision represents a narrative-shattering turn in a case long politicized by Democrats and media allies who claimed the Trump era was defined by secrecy around Epstein-related records. Instead, it was the Trump Justice Department that formally sought the release of the materials after Congress passed the transparency law.

The Epstein Files Transparency Act mandates the disclosure of Justice Department records tied to investigations involving Epstein, whose 2019 death in a Manhattan jail sparked years of speculation and political finger-pointing.

Epstein, a former acquaintance of President Donald Trump, was found dead in August 2019 while awaiting trial on federal child sex trafficking charges. His death was ruled a suicide.

With the DOJ now pressing for disclosure and a federal judge approving the release, the spotlight shifts back to Democrats who spent years demanding answers. Whether they will continue to press the issue now that the Trump administration delivered the documents remains an open question.
